Ok so you end up with a prop spinning at 7k RPM a few centimetres from your crown jewels, but that just adds to the... excitement?

Isn't this what they used on the Ferrari's, corvettes and some alfas and I think the Porsche 928 ? Not an unusual thing to do for a rear transaxle.

I do like your thinking though, do you know of a where you can get a prop made and balanced and out of interest how does the flywheel/clutch work on this arrangement?

Likewise I've recently brought a lexus LS400, turbocharged it and installed megasquirt. The whole process including buying the car, turbocharging it and getting it tuned has cost me less than £2000. It's making 380whp at 7psi which I believe the engine will take until the end of time.

Cheap and reliable power if you can fit it in something and mount a manual box to it.

Who doesn't like a turbo v8?
